WEBVTT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR A JURY TO FIND A 64 YEAR OLD MAN GUILTY OF HAVING SEX.. THEN IMPREGNATING A 12 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL. BUT THERE WERE SOME FIREWORKS IN THE COURTROOM, BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THAT VERDICT. TARGET 7'S NANCY LAFLIN HAS MORE FROM CLOVIS. A SMALL TOWN....A MAJOR VERDICT. "fight! He's deaf" FAMILY MEMBERS OF EUSEBIO JASPER WERE VERY EMOTIONAL...AND OUTRAGED THAT A JURY FOUND THE 64 YEAR OLD GUILTY OF HAVING SEX AND IMPREGNATING A 12 YEAR OLD CHILD. TWO DNA TESTS SHOWED HE WAS THE FATHER...BUT JASPER DENIED IT, ALL THE WAY TO THE END. "did you ever have sexual intercourse with her? I never did sir. Not once? Never. After her 13th birthday did you ever have sex with her? I never have." OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TOOK THE STAND TO DEFEND JASPER... INCLUDING THE VICTIM'S GRANDMOTHER...WHO IS JASPER'S GIRLFRIEND. SHE INSISTED HER GRANDDAUGHTER WASN'T TELLING THE TRUTH. AND SO DID THE VICTIM'S OWN MOTHER.. "The dna scientific paternity testing says that jasper is the father of her child. That's what it says... but you totally discount that don't you. Umm..i don't think he did anything to her." BUT IN THE END... JURORS SAW IT DIFFERENTLY. THEY FOUND JASPER GUILTY OF HAVING SEX WITH THE VICTIM WHEN SHE WAS 12... IMPREGNANTING HER..AND HAVING SEX WITH HER AFTER HER 13TH BIRTHDAY AS WELL. "This is not eusebio jasper's first conviction. In 1989 ...he was convicted of killing his wife. He served 7 years for that crime. He'll serve a lot more for this one...a minimum of 18 years. In clovis..nancy laflin koat action 7 news." A JUDGE HASN'T SET A DATE YET FOR SENTENCING. JASPER COULD FACE MORE THAN 30 YEARS
